The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Cloud is a sweet gourmand for women from Ariana Grande, released in 2018 and created by Clement Gavarry. The scent reads as a creamy, lactonic vanilla gourmand with a soft musky backbone: the opening brightens with lavender, pear and bergamot before folding into a heart of whipped cream, coconut, praline and vanilla orchid, and then settling on musk and warm woody notes. The overall accord smells like marshmallowed vanilla with a milky coconut center and a gentle smoky musk at the base. It is widely worn and rated 3.97/5 from over 16,000 votes, drawing both enthusiastic fans and clear critics.
Our take
I like Cloud for its marshmallow-coconut sweetness and soft vanilla drydown; it smells cozy and easy for daytime wear. It can turn a bit synthetic on some people and the longevity is unpredictable, but I reach for it when I want an inexpensive, feel-good gourmand.

The Bottle
Ariana Grande Cloud has a bottle that commits fully to its name: a rounded arch sits within a prominent white cloud-shaped base, topped by a separate cloud-shaped cap. The pale blue upper section and silver-coloured collar keep the perfume format legible, while the grey branding is easy to place. It is playful, distinctive, and more memorable than routine.
Original or Clone
Authorship gives Cloud its clearest case: Clement Gavarry is credited with composing the original, a distinction an interpretation cannot share. The bottle reinforces that position, with its cloud-shaped base and cap making the release unusually identifiable rather than anonymous. Its sweet, lactonic, vanilla-led character has prompted one tracked interpretation from one house, confirming that the release has been judged worth reproducing beyond its original maker. On the grounds we can actually assess, the original is the more compelling choice, though buying the interpretation remains reasonable.
